Your group of randomly assigned classmates will be teaching your class about the inner workings of your sense.
You have this week to prepare. You will have a maximum of 20 minutes of classtime to actively present the information to the class, minimum of 10mins.
A list of terms that must be included is below.
There must be both a visual and a kinesthetic (moving around) part of your presentation. You can ask your classmates to do the moving/acting out, or do it yourselves. Make it memorable, appropriate, and creative.
All members of your group will verbally participate in the presentation. Those absent on the day it is due will be submitting a written assignment, explaining and illustrating your topic with your own drawings and writing (include bibliography) minimum 3pgs TNR double spaced plus illustrating all terms.
A space has been created for you in "projects" for you to create a handout of notes for your classmates to access.
You will share with me that has 5 fill in the blank quiz style questions that students should be able to answer upon participating in your project. Your quiz questions should be covered in your project space notes, but shouldn't blatantly be listed as your quiz questions. These questions will become part of an assessment at the end of the presentations. Everyone will take an open note quiz.
This project is worth 100pts with a 20pt quiz. The quiz will be on Friday or Monday.
